What a pile of bullshit, shake your noodle, if Canada was your worst enemy, we would also be your worst nightmare. Sometimes you Yankee doodles generalize a little too much. America decided that the U.N. is B.S. and I happen to think you are correct, however the cause of world peace would not be advanced if small nations like Canada were to reject the U.N. It is you big guys that will create the neccessary changes and we will surely follow.

These people are nuts. Canada is anything but racist. Why don't they go to Iraq, Africa or China for that?

[canuckwest]

I read the article too and it is a pile of bullshit.This idiot obviously thinks Ontario is Canada. Do I think New York is America and would I base my opinion of it's people on that premise? I had a bad experience in L.A. once so all Americans are shites? Shake your head.

At the same hearing in Geneva, committee members told Canadian officials Ottawa was wrong to resist giving the UN the power to rule on individual complaints of racism in Canada.

Our future before us. Get ready.

Pretty bad when hey accuse CANADA of not stomping on free speech enough.

This is a classic example of the political version of 'you give an inch, they take a mile'. By trying to please the UN, they left themselves open to the UN's whims, which are certainly corrosive to any even mildly democratic nation.

I hope the people of Canada wisen up and tell the UN where to stick it before it's too late...if it isn't already.

Where is the UN building located?

Believe me when I say it is located in a foreign land. I'm certain of it.

Even Ontario isn't that bad! No,he's just an idiot. I read his crap and decided just because he has the ability to string words together that doesn't make him a writer. He can't distinguish between fact and fiction so he resorts to old myths and generalities. Nope, He's just an idiot.

[canuckwest]

I stand corrected Snowey,substitute "certain portions of inner city Toronto, Hamilton and Rockcliffe in Ottawa".Most of the rest of Ontario is o.k. In fact, Calgary relies on these districts for it's future growth.

"This is the old story of [the balance between] freedom of expression and the suppression of hate propaganda," said Kurt Herndl, a retired Austrian diplomat who serves on the 18-member committee as co-ordinator for reports on Canada.

Canadian officials noted, however, that committee rulings on cases brought by individuals from other countries have leaned farther toward suppressing free speech than Canada is ready to tolerate, even though Canada itself is moving in that direction with progressively tougher anti-racism laws.

The idea of defining any negative comments about other races and ethnicities as "racism," and "hate propaganda," is outrageous enough. But the idea that the UN is a fit body to enforce internal taboos, within a sovereign nation, is equally outrageous. This is one more example of a mad new world, madder than any which Gulliver ever discovered in one of Dean Swift's satirical flights of fancy.

What is at stake here, of course, has nothing to do with hatred of those who are different. It is all about terminating the traditions of the West; submerging Western Man and all of his achievements over the past few thousand years in the sea of an undifferentiated humanity, where egalitarian fanatics will teach us not to dare to be different--not to dare to excel--and above all, never teach your children the proud accomplishments of their ancestors. That this is Communism in another dress should be as obvious, as it is obvious who really are motivated by hatred.

Conservatives will rue the day they did not stand up forthrightly to this sort of intimidation, while it was still possible to rally the people of our respective Nations. Those who are pushing this form of "enlightenment," are closing for the kill.

Didn't he also blame his loss on "money", too?

I think you're right!

We all know who racists are talking about when they blame money...

[jodorowsky]

Well, Alberta is a "distinct society" from what I hear down here in SW Ontario ; )

Watch your language on American forums, moose turd.

Canada should be humbled by this. Now maybe they'll feel what it's like to be grilled like the US. Canada is somewhat of a neo-socialist nation, whether it be gun control, national healthcare, etc. Hypocrites.......wallow in the muck for a while.........i'm still not real happy with their relaxed immigration laws which provide easy access for terrorists into the US

You don't like it when you get your bullshit called do you .
